IVINQSTOIHiOYER DITCHED IN MIDST OF FLAME Women and Children Burn to Death FIFTEEN LIVES ABE LOST f- Forest Fire Overtakes Refugees in Michigai jl LOATH TO LEAVE THEIR They Delay Departure Too'Long and Meet Terrible Fa Alpeua, Oct. persons lost their lives In the burning of the Detroit and Mackinaw railway relief train, which was carrying inhabitants of the little village twenty-three miles north pf heye, to safety from the forest were sweeping away their homes.

The ill-fated train was ditched by spread- Ing rails at Nowiokl siding, a few miles south of the refugees were forced to abandon the cars and rush for safety, either track with burning forests on Cither side or into the ploughed fleldi) near the siding. Following is the list of dead fn the William Bartlett, brakeman; Arthur Lee, Alpens.fire- man; John Konleczny. Mrs. John Konieczny, age Jo- Konleczny, age three; Kp- nieczriy, age seven GeoV Cicero, 'Margaret Cicero, age two; Qeo. Cicero, age third Cicero child, age eight; Mrs.

Emma Hardies, Pauline Hardies, age nine; 'Mary Hardies, age three; Minnie Hardies, age eight months. Eleven of the victims were women and children, who were unable to escape quickly enough from the gondola car which they wore occupying. Their charred bodies were found there when rescuers reached the Two of -the men victims were members of the train crew. Four additional fatalities ooourred in the neighborhood of the wreck last night. Mr.

and Mrs. Fred Wagner died from heat and exhaustion on their farm near the ecene of the wreck and Mr. and Mrs. Fred No- wield, lost their lives In their burning house near the siding, where the wreck occurred. People Slow to Leave.

When the forest fires closed In about the little village a special train of three empty box cars and two coal gondolas was rushed to Metz In charge of John B. Kinviile, conductor; William Foster, engineer; Arthur Lee, fireman, and William Barrett, brake-' man. As rapidly as possible the people and their goods were loaded into the cars, Some refused to abandon their goods or the train might have left earlier and have reached' Alpena in safety. When the train finally started there were about 100 frightened persons, aboard. The flames were already sweeping through the village.

Engineer Foster started his train for Alpena. Naaring NowicM Crossing he saw blazing piles of cedar ties on both sHdes of the track. Opening wide the throttle, he tried to dash through at full speed, but the heat had loosened the rails'and they bad spread and the train left the track. Blazing piles surrounded It and in an Instant the cars caught fire. Caught In Awful Trap.

"The terror-stricken people, caught by the peril from which they were fleeing, Jumped from. the cars and rushed down the track. Three moth- evs and their little ones' were not "quick enough. They were cremated In the gondola car, where they were 'caught. Brakeman, William Barrett sprang into the water tank -behind the engine, only to be literally boiled to ddath aa the flames swept over it.

Engineer Foster and Kinville fled down the-track through the fire and smoke and were the first to reach the village of Posen and report the wreck and aak for assistance from here. Behind 'them straggled a burned tqd wounded 'procession of refugees wrecked train. It was a tearful march over tbe hot ties with the flames' from the burning woods on either side of the track roaring and' snapping in their fftoea, Engineer foster Was terribly burned about the head but it is' thought'that will survive, Conductor was badly, scorched. Whlig, totally landed, by his'ljiirnB. John' NowicTcT, wife and Mrs.

Albert Hardies and her youhg son were also seriously burned. Many more of the refugees are suffering painful burns. The survivors of the frightful experience seemed dazed by suffering. They seemed vo realty nothing except the necessity for running, running, running to escape the intense he.tt and menacing flames. It was difficult to get any coherent statements from them as to loss of life In the wreck or as to whether there had been any persons lett behind in Metz.

R. S. Richards, a Bay City traveling salesman, when he arrived at Poseu said: "As the train leu the track the heart-remlljig cries of women aud children sent "a chill over my body. 1 did not wait to see the outcome, as 1 knew it would be at no avail and every minute was precious. George Boston, also of Bay City, myself and another mail started together.

We walked down the track toward Posen. In some places the flames forced us t.o run and Mr. Boston was burned about the face before ho reached safety. Several other men left the scene about the same time we. did, but when we reached Po- Ben they were not to be seen.

They may have perished in the flames. "There was absolutely no chance to save the women and children from the gondola car. The time was too short. It will probably be a week or more before it is definitely how many persona perished in the village of Metz. The 8re gained a foothold in the town before the train and in all probability many of the citizens were cremated." One Man Left Behind.

Others stated that when the relief train left Metz It carried all the Inhabitants of the village except 'George Cicero; the station agent, who stayed to handle the railroad wire and escaped through plowed fields when the fire reached the station, only to find bis wife and three children cremated In the wreck of the relief train. A fourth child, a boy about eleven years old, had jumped from the burning car and escaped with but slight injuries: The first rejief train- from here reached the crossing and brought back the bodies aud those of the refugees who-wished to come here. Some: of them were so hysterical from fright that they refused to ride on the, fearing another accident. Fleet Delayed by Storm.
